About & Description

We are an independent art school for adults and teenagers and offer part-time day, evening or short courses in drawing, painting & printmaking.

Browne School of Art is a small, dedicated art school located in Grey Lynn, on the edge of Auckland's central business district and within easy access of public bus services. Click here for more information and to plan your route. Founded by painter and tutor Matthew Browne in 2013, the school offers a selection of specialised part-time day or evening art classes for adults wishing to develop their drawing and painting skills. Practical skills are taught and creative thinking is nurtured and encouraged within a structured framework that emphasises each individual’s artistic development, without imposing any specific stylistic interpretation. At this initial stage of the school’s development many of the classes are taught by Matthew Browne. As the school evolves, a broader range of classes will be added, taught by a selection of Auckland’s most experienced art practitioners and teachers. The emphasis is on providing quality, accessible, professionally delivered art courses, and on providing plenty of constructive personal feedback and encouragement.

Mission

Whether you consider yourself an absolute beginner or a more experienced drawing and painting practitioner, at Browne School of Art we will: • Offer instruction in the fundamental skills of drawing and painting. • Awaken, develop and refine your powers of visual observation, investigation and interpretation. • Assist you to select and structure visual elements to successfully communicate your ideas. • Provide a better understanding of art materials and how best to use them. • Introduce you to a range of work by other artists who may provide inspiration for your chosen artistic direction. • Facilitate class debate and philosophical discussion around the principles of traditional art-making from the past alongside current contemporary art practice. • Support the ongoing development of a focused and independent creative practice. • Strive to educate, enrich and engage students in the visual arts. • Provide creative opportunities for the wider community to realise their creative potential as artists. • Assist in the development of your own personal approach and positioning as an artist within a wider contemporary art environment (for more experienced practitioners).
